[Verse]
You were a shadow
Lost in the haze
A ghost of the man from my younger days
Heroin stole what you tried to keep
But I saw the fight buried deep
[Chorus]
Rise again
Dad
You're breaking the chains
Through the ashes
You're healing the pain
Two years clean
You're finding your way
I love you
Dad
More every day
[Verse 2]
I was 23 when you found your light
Building dreams in the quiet of night
Brick by brick
You stood your ground
A phoenix rising
Life turned around
[Chorus]
Rise again
Dad
You're breaking the chains
Through the ashes
You're healing the pain
Two years clean
You're finding your way
I love you
Dad
More every day
[Bridge]
The world tried to drown you
But you wouldn't sink
Your strength is the hope I never could think
You taught me to fight
To never let go
In your eyes
Now I see the glow
[Chorus]
Rise again
Dad
You're breaking the chains
Through the ashes
You're healing the pain
Two years clean
You're finding your way
I love you
Dad
More every day
